Verdict

Plenty of Ffos Las regulars line up, none more so than the mud loving West Wales National winner of 2015 Bob Ford. Pearl Swan won a C&D beginners chase in November, and appears to be a chaser on the upgrade, but life will be tougher against some gnarly battle hardened rivals in this stronger handicap. KAYF MOSS appears to have been brought along steadily over hurdles this winter with this race (and perhaps another at Chepstow next month) in mind, and he is a tentative selection to go one better than when runner up to Berea Boru in this very contest in 2016. 1. Kayf Moss 2. Horatio Hornblower 3. Pearl Swan
